Developer vs. Engineer — the mindset that sets them apart in DevOps Have you ever observed this distinction? - Developers dive straight into coding. - Engineers take a moment to grasp the bigger picture. While it may seem efficient to "just start coding," the most effective engineers I’ve encountered approach things differently: They focus on solving problems rather than merely creating features. They ask probing questions. They delve into the why, not just the what. They adopt a systems-thinking approach, considering the entire pipeline instead of just individual sprints. What’s the outcome? - More maintainable code - Reduced bugs - Accelerated delivery in the long run - Improved business results The crucial question isn’t: “How quickly can I code this?” Instead, it’s: “Do I have a deep enough understanding of the problem to architect the right solution?” That’s the key difference between a developer and a software engineer in the DevOps landscape.
